One thing Cardknox does well is to automatically update critical credit card information such as card expiration dates. This feature not only saves time, but it solves a huge headache of keeping card information updated. Before, our customers would have to call the credit card holder to get a new expiration date. Now it is automatic.

2Checkout Monetization Platform is well suited for emerging SaaS businesses because along with payment processing, they offer you exposure to Affiliates and make electronic code delivery easy. The dashboard is cumbersome and reporting graphs/options are not easy to comprehend so it might become trouble when the business grows and you want to show it to venture capitalists or any investor/buyer.

Pros
  • One of the strengths of Cardknox is the ease of installation. We have worked with more than one processor and Cardknox is by far the easiest to install.
  • Cardknox also has excellent support. When we need assistance they are they to help and it is easy to get through to them.
  • The sales team at Cardknox is great also. They often go beyond the call of duty to help us.

  • 2Checkout handles credit cards that I would not be able to accept from my country.
  • Fraud prevention works. They saved me a couple of times and I appreciate that.
  • I always received my payments on time. I never had to complain.

Cons
  • Any areas in function that we found tedious or difficult were really a result of us not knowing how to use all the features Cardknox offers. Once we contacted support with our issues and received guidance, we have not had any issues or frustrations with the system. Their support is robust and wait times for a response are extremely low!

  • Local payments methods are an area for improvement. Not all are connected so far.
  • Bulk updates for catalogs are missing at the moment, to be added in upcoming releases I hope.

Usability
Cardknox is very user friendly. Patients young and old, tech savvy to technologically challenged, have all been able to use it!

It is surreal. Everything feels like they don't really want you to use them. I had to beg them to approve my account because of stupid approval questions. Example: give ONE url where payments will come from. (my payments will come from a page inside my webapp which means absolutely nothing to users who don't have a user in my webapp. I also have many URLs where the users can pay from) Then their API is super complicated to use. I couldn't believe how complicated it is. It is not well explained in the documentation and you have to guess until you understand the underlying logic. I wouldn't use it if I Stripe was available in my country.

I have spoken to over 50 different payment solutions and integrated with 3 others. Cardknox is leaps and bounds better than others in terms of customer support, payment technologies, and overall organization.

There's no comparison. Using PayPal as my payment processor was a nightmare. PayPal was really designed for the purchaser not for the seller. Yes, they were cheap but you get what you pay for. Customer service at PayPal was also non-existent. 2Checkout on the other hand is designed for the seller. Their system is mature and feature-filled. It does everything I would need and allows me to present a professional purchasing experience to my clients. The documentation is good, but the best thing about 2Checkout is that I can contact a friendly tech support rep 24/7 via live online chat. I tell them what I'm trying to do and they help me out. If necessary they can escalate the support request and I always receive a chat transcript in my inbox afterward.
